the beginning of the end

[djjimkelly]

The offensive staff has carefully scripted the snaps for each of the three quarterbacks in the competition for the starting job. Rex Ryan and his assistants have made a concerted effort to give equal opportunity to the signal callers, not just in terms of reps, but reps with the starting unit.

“They’ll all have opportunities to play with the ones,” said Ryan of his three competing quarterbacks. “We’re going to have six possessions with the ones, six with the twos and six with the threes and all quarterbacks will have two possessions with the ones. We’ll see if there’s any separation.”

Ryan also said that this is the first step toward real evaluation of the quarterbacks in a true game-like setting.

Brown seems to be Fumblesaurus Rex.

I read that too.

The guy drives me crazy because he could be good if he can hold onto the freakin' ball. Two good runs and then a fumble...

It doesn't matter where the staff is. The fact that we are 5 weeks out from the first game and have no definitive starter at QB is disconcerting no matter what they decide.

We have guys named Cassel, Manuel, Taylor and Simms. Did anybody really think one from that group would distinguish themself above the others after one week of training camp?

Re: the beginning of the end

Funny thing is, that if the offense scored multiple times, many here would be livid about the defense. To base so much off an inter squad scrimmage is what is disconcerting. A brand new offense, against a top 5 defense isn't a true evaluation.

Make whatever excuse you want for offensive incompetence. Just don't be surprised when the O doesn't get magically better in the next 5 weeks and is equally incompetent when the games count.
